CANEY LAKE — The male bass are cruising in the shallows with some picked up on trick worms and Flukes. Bigger females in the 8-9 pound range are holding out in 8-10 foot water waiting for water to warm up.

CHENIERE LAKE — The lake continues to be high and muddy with the Puckett Lake area producing some crappie on shiners and jigs while the bass are hitting Carolina-rigs and spinners fished around the trees. Call the Honey Hole at 318.323.8707 for more information.

LAKE CLAIBORNE — The crappie are starting to move up the creeks although some are still being caught in deep water, although high winds have made open water fishing difficult.
